The Pleasure’s All Mine reviewed in the Irish Examiner

‘Why it is that we are so intolerant of the sexual preferences of others, and why are people marginalised for their desires? These are questions asked by British historian, Julie Peakman, in her beautifully illustrated and hugely informative book, The Pleasure’s All Mine: A History of Perverse Sex. Along with being meticulously researched and immensely interesting, both Perv and The Pleasure’s All Mine are superbly intriguing in a delightfully wicked way. With humour, wit and a huge pinch of humanity, the authors lift the veil on the history of perversion and the biological reasons behind our distaste for unusual sexual antics.’
